This is a bit confusing to read.  Why does select_ffa_mm_comms() have to
return and EFI return code?  It has nothing to do with EFI to begin with.

I think you can make select_ffa_mm_comms() return an enum with
OPTEE/FFA. The you can rewrite this a bit cleaner
Something along the lines of

efi_status_t ret = EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER;
enum transport_select;

transport_select = select_ffa_mm_comms();
if (transport_select == OPTEE)
    ret = optee_mm_communicate(comm_buf, dsize);
else
    ret = ffa_mm_communicate(comm_buf, dsize);

While at it stub the ffa_mm_communicate() and optee_mm_communicate()
functions so they are always defined but return EFI_UNSUPPORTED if the
Kconfig is not selected while printing an appropriate error at the same
time to inform the user which Kconfig option is missing.
